Question 1

My mom's come down with a cold, runny nose, and a fever. I have some Dart and Montewok LC at home and I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take both. Are there any issues or side effects we should watch out for? She's also been dealing with a persistent cough for a few months now. Should I be concerned or consider something else for her?

Accepted Answer

-Your mom can take Dart for fever and Montewok LC for her cold and running nose, as there are no major interactions. However, for her ongoing cough, it's best to consult a doctor to rule out chronic issues like allergies or asthma.

Question 2

I got a 102.7 fever since yesterday right after I got the vaccine, but my parents and in-laws haven't had any fever at all. Is there a reason why younger people like me might be getting fevers while older folks are feeling fine after the shot? Just trying to understand if this is normal.

Accepted Answer

Depends on the sensitivity of your body,no need to worry it's natural, take Dolo650 when you have fever and stay hydrated.

Question 3

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. I've had a bad cough for the past three days - it's been paired with a cold and sneezing. My temperature seems normal though. The thing is, I'm about to travel and I need some kind of remedy that can help in the next 12 hours or so. I plan to see a physician after that, but I really need some relief until then. Any advice you could give would be great.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like youre dealing with a common cold or viral infection. For the next 12 hours, try staying hydrated, taking a pain reliever like paracetamol if needed, and using a saline nasal spray for relief from congestion. If the symptoms persist, definitely consult a physician once you're able. Safe travels!

Is it okay to get a tetanus shot in the buttock? I got one there and now it's hurting. I'm kind of worried because I read online that getting it in the buttock isn't recommended. Why did the nurse say it was less painful and more effective there? Can you help me understand what's going on?

if pain persists and it develops into mass consult general surgeon
